Napoleon Bonaparte

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821), also known as Napoleon I, was a French military leader and emperor who conquered much of Europe in the early 19th century. Born on the island of Corsica, Napoleon rapidly rose through the ranks of the military during the French Revolution (1789-1799). After seizing political power in France in a 1799 coup d’état, he crowned himself emperor in 1804. Shrewd, ambitious and a skilled military strategist, Napoleon successfully waged war against various coalitions of European nations and expanded his empire. However, after a disastrous French invasion of Russia in 1812, Napoleon abdicated the throne two years later and was exiled to the island of Elba. In 1815, he briefly returned to power in his Hundred Days campaign. After a crushing defeat at the Battle of Waterloo, he abdicated once again and was exiled to the remote island of Saint Helena, where he died at 51. There are some chess game of nepoleon bonaparte.

his first recorded game was played against Madame De Remusat, a French woman of letters, in Paris, France in 1802. 

His second recorded game was played against Madame De Remusat at Chateau de Malmaison, Rueil-Malmaison France on March 20, 1804. 
His third recorded game was played against The Turk (Automaton) at the Schoenbrunn Palace Exhibition in Vienna, Austria in 1809. The opening that he played in this game came to be known as the Napoleon Opening.
His fourth recorded game was played against a French general, Henri Gatien Bertrand, in 1820 while he was in exile on St. Helena.

 Albert Einstein

 Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist who is widely held as one of the most influential scientists. Best known for developing the theory of relativity, Einstein also made important contributions to quantum mechanics. His mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2, which arises from relativity theory, has been called "the world's most famous equation". He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect" a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory. His intellectual achievements and originality have made the word Einstein broadly synonymous with genius.

J. Robert Oppenheimer

J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904-1967) was an American theoretical physicist and professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley. Oppenheimer was the wartime head of the Los Alamos Laboratory and is among those who are credited with being the "father of the atomic bomb" for their role in the Manhattan Project, the World War II undertaking that developed the first nuclear weapons.

I doubt Hitler ever played Lenin. In 1909 Hitler was in Vienna. Lenin lived in London in May 1908 and in August 1910 he was in Copenhagen.
Here is a 1908 game of Lenin vs. Maxim Gorky.
